I was thinking today about the new baby. I would love to know if he or she will be a freckle face, curly haired little one like Kendall or a blonde headed/straight haired blue eyed baby like Reagon, be a perfect mix of the two, or look nothing like them. I can't wait for the girls to see their new little brother or sister.

Josh teaching Reagon how to swim using her arms instead of dog paddling!

We had a fun time this past memorial weekend camping at Lake Ouchita. We spent most of the time swimming, eating, fishing and swimming, eating, and fishing some more! On Saturday night Roger and Teresa came by to visit with Aubri and Ava. On Sunday afternoon after church Caleb, Auntie, Trey, Lexi and Harli visited and we grilled burgers and cooked fish while the guys were fishing. Jas and Mary Nell stopped by and Jas fished with the guys and Mary Nell helped with the cooking. Later on that evening Jamie, Dave, and the boys and Danton, Hudson, and Larry stopped to visit just in time for the weenie roast and smores. We cut a big watermelon and ate till we were stuffed....at least I ate till I was stuffed! The girls had a good time but we were all tired and ready to go home by Monday afternoon! I think we all slept the afternoon away once we made it home. A big thanks to Trey for setting up the camper for us and hauling it back home.

After a long week, it was finally time to go home! Kendall was sooooo happy to leave the hospital.

I can't imagine having to go through the past week without Josh. He was absolutely amazing! Many times he was the only one Kendall would go to when she was in such pain. I love the picture of the two of them dancing!

What a good uncle!!! Caleb painted Kendall's fingernails and played "doctor" with her to help cheer her up. Kendall loved it! I love the smile on her face when he is "doctoring" her baby doll Emily.

We can't say thank you enough for all the prayers for Kendall while she was in the hospital. We know the Lord healed her and we give Him all the thanks and praise for it. I wanted to post some of the pictures I took while she was in the hospital. I didn't take any when she felt really bad, most were taken after she started feeling better.
Thanks again to everyone who lifted her up and added her to their church prayer list. We really felt the prayers and know that it what got us through this difficult week.

I couldn't resist this adorable little outfit. I guess if little Harper is a girl, then Kendall's doll Nathan will look snazzy for church!

Pictures of Eddie's house after the fire are below in the original post.

This should be in the local paper in the next couple weeks. Reagon is really enjoying 4-H this year. Her show animals should be ready soon so she can start getting ready for the fair in Sept.

Lisa Ray emailed me these pictures of Reagon, her daughter Lauren and Megan. The pictures are from the 3rd grade picnic a couple of weeks ago.

On our way home from church last night Kendall started feeling bad. When we made it home, Josh carried her to the house and he said she was hot as a firecracker. I took her temp and she had a 101.4 fever. I gave her a bath and motrin and she went straight to bed. This morning here fever was up to almost 103. She is at work with me this morning. You can't even tell she is sick but she is still running a low grade fever. Hopefully, she will feel better soon. She has a game tonight and we may have to miss it.

Reagon and Kendall now have their very own baby dolls!!!!

Taylor made her entrance into this world at 7:58am on Friday, May 2006. She weighed 7lbs1oz and was 19 3/4" long. She is such a pretty baby. I think she looks like Alissa but I can see some of Kevin in her face, too! Alissa did such a good job! I went in and out of the room to check on her and she never complained! Her water broke at home Friday night around 10:30pm and she stayed home for a little while, making it to the hospital around midnight. Mom and Dad called me at 2am and I loaded the car and headed for Hot Springs. I made it to the hospital a little after 3am and they were starting her epidural. Both of my sisters make having a baby look too easy!

We stayed with them on Saturday night and loved every minute of holding Taylor and loving her..even if she didn't want to sleep! Misti came over on Saturday morning...Reagon stayed with her...and we spoiled both babies! Taylor has reflux so Alissa and Kevin took her back to the dr on Sunday. She is on some new medicine so hopefully she will feel better soon and be able to keep her milk down and sleep longer.

Please pray for my boss Eddie and his wife Carol. They lost their home this morning in a terrible fire.

Eddie and I were both working this morning and a storm rolled through the area with terrible lightning. Around 9am the lightning hit and made a terrible explosion sound, shaking the office windows and popping my computer and phone lines. About 5 minutes later we received a call from ADT stating the smoke alarms in Eddie's house was going off. We drove up to his house (just a few yards from the office) and we could see the smoke rolling from the roof.

They lost everything. Please remember to pray for them.
